I bought the 7 1/2" Kindle Fire when the "fire" first came out a few years ago. I really love it! I use it mainly for reading books. I download them from my local library, and from Amazon. Lots of free books out there! I really don't use it to its full potential. I do use it for internet when we are traveling and I don't have my laptop set up. I put photos of my grandkids and have an album for my quilts, when I want to show them to people.
